MANCHESTER UNITED have launched their opening bid for Bryan Mbeumo – but it is under Brentford’s asking price, reports say.
Ruben Amorim – who led United to a club-worst 15th place Premier League finish last season – is looking to bolster his attack.
Already, Matheus Cunha will arrive from Wolves for £62.5million after the Red Devils reluctantly met his release clause.
And now Brentford’s versatile forward Mbeumo – capable of playing out wide or through the middle – is their next target.
According to The Athletic, United submitted an opening offer of £45million plus £10m in add-ons.
But that is said to be below Brentford’s asking price – with negotiations ongoing to strike an agreement.
Mbeumo has a year left on his contract at the Gtech Community Stadium — plus an option to extend by 12 months.
But he is pushing for a move to Old Trafford despite interest from the likes of Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham.
Although the French-born Cameroon international is believed to be demanding wages of £250,000-per-week.
That is FIVE TIMES the weekly £50,000 salary he currently earns.

Mbeumo joined Brentford from French club Troyes in 2019 and enjoyed a breakout season over the last 12 months.
The 25-year-old scored 20 goals and eight assists as Brentford finished tenth in the table.
United are in the market for forwards this summer after registering just 44 league goals last term.
They missed out on striker Liam Delap – who instead joined Chelsea – but were handed a boost in Bruno Fernandes committing his future.
United’s captain rejected an approach from Saudi side Al-Hilal – which would have seen him earn a three-year tax-free deal worth £200million.
